New Minimally Invasive Treatment for BPH with Fewest Sexual Side Effects.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Top-ratedUrolift<\/strong>, an innovative treatment for an enlarged prostate in men with BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) was recently approved by the FDA after rigorous evaluation.  Urolift for BPH is unique among treatment options for BPH<\/a><\/strong> in that it does not cause sexual side effects based on the studies reviewed by the FDA.<\/p>\n

Randomized controlled studies<\/strong> have shown a durable benefit for >5 years after the procedure with minimal side effects and high patient satisfaction. In fact, studies suggest that sexual function improves after treatment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Urolift is appropriate for men with an enlarged prostate and urinary symptoms who do not want to take daily medications or who wish to avoid the side effects associated with other treatment options for BPH<\/a> such as TURP, Greenlight laser, and Flomax.<\/strong>  It is most appropriate for men with obstructing prostate with mild to moderate enlargement. Some men with more severe urinary symptoms, including urinary retention, may be candidates for Urolift<\/a>.  Some men with urinary symptoms as a result of prostate cancer<\/a> may also benefit from Urolift.<\/p>\n

Experienced Urologist Performs Urolift Procedure at New York Urology Specialists<\/h2>\n

Urolift is offered at New York Urology Specialists. Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger<\/a><\/strong> is among the first urologists in the New York Metro area<\/strong> to offer this advanced treatment option for his patients.<\/p>\n

For your treatment of enlarged prostate and the Urolift procedure, you need a highly trained and experienced urologist<\/span>.  As one of the most experienced urologists in the Urolift procedure, Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger performs some of the most delicate and complicated treatment with Urolift for men with a large prostate and an enlarged median lobe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Treatment involves a quick outpatient procedure<\/strong>. Men traveling from other states and countries can usually return home the next day after the procedure.<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/strong><\/span> Dr. Shteynshlyuger has performed over 500 surgeries and procedures for enlarged prostate,<\/strong> including Rezum, Urolift, prostate enucleation, laser ablation of the prostate, and TURP.  He performs 100 prostate procedures a year.<\/p>\n

Who is a Candidate for Urolift?<\/h2>\n

Many men with an enlarged prostate are good candidates<\/strong> for the Urolift procedure.  It is important for us to evaluate each potential patient to make sure that Urolift is an appropriate treatment option for each man considering it.  Please read about our patient selection criteria for the Neotract Urolift System for BPH<\/a> and a detailed explanation<\/strong> of who is a candidate for the Urolift procedure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How does Urolift Work?<\/h2>\n

Urolift is unique in that it does not destroy tissue<\/strong>. Instead, Urolift compresses normal tissue<\/strong> that blocks the urethra, which results in a patent, wide urethra, and improved flow.   On the image below, you can see the net result on the urethra and prostate before and after Urolift treatment.<\/p>\n

Does Urolift Work for Everyone?<\/h2>\n

\"\"Urolift has very good efficacy for men who are good candidates<\/strong> for the procedure based on a thorough evaluation. For men who are considered a good candidate for Urolift, success rates are around 90%<\/strong>.  When Urolift does not achieve the desired results, other treatment options after the Urolift procedure<\/a> are available.  Procedures such as iTind, Greenlight laser, and TURP can be performed for patients who fail Urolift therapy for BPH.<\/p>\n
